while Gannaway was working for the
company, assisting in raising an iron
pipe from the pump-hole or well with a
derrick, the pipe broke, and a piece Of
it in falling struck him on the head,
killing him. His heirs are now suing

FINANCIAL MATTERS.
"rEE couPoS-cRuBHER" 70 BIZ
AIMEE DED SOMEWHAT.
Talk About the Proposed Constitutional
Amsndmsnt-fhe Caucus, &c.

The House Finance Committee, oi
which Mr.. Pollard, of King and Queen
county, is chairman, met yesterday
morning and began the consideration
Of the bill proposing that where cou-
pons ore offered for taxes the State
shall sue the tenderers to make them
establish the geEuineness OF the cou-
pOns.
The committee did not quite finish
their examination of the measure. but
they agreed 10 recommend an amend
ment to that section which requires
that the defendant, whether he win or
lose the case, shall pay s12 as the cost
of the jury. They win shape the bill
so that to have q jury will not be COM
| pulsory and in this litigation, as in
Others, either party can demand jury.
II then the verdict is against defendant
he will have to pay the usual cost of a
jury also, fee of $40 for the Com
monwealth's attorney.
The committee are anxious 10 put the
bill ifs such shape that, il enacted into
a law, twill stand the test of the courts.
THE AMENDMENT.
The feeling in favor OF the constitu-
tional amendment is steadily growing.
Many now predict that it will not only
pass the House, but the Senate also.
The amendment as proposed by Mr..
Rhea not only bars principal but in
terest also of all bonds not funded in
new 3's in q limited time. There is
great opposition to his including the
interest, and the probability is that it
will not pass in that shape. 1t is argued
that to include the tax-receivable cou-
pons will enable the creditors TO go into
the United States courts promptly
upon the adoption of the amendment
to test its validity, whereas should in
terest be omitted no case could be
made up, it is thought, until the limit
given had expired.
As often before stated, there is no
tax-receivable feature in the Ion Is as
in the coupons.
THE CONFERENCE.
IUe IelHOCrHtlC utmDcTS OI luc
General Assembly will meet in confe-
renee again tonight for further con-
sideration OF debt measures.
1t is not expected to make the con-
stitutional amendment ga caucus mea-
sure bat it is hoped by those who
favor it that practical unanimity will be
arrived at, and that nearly all of the
Democrats will accept the result and
vote for the amendment. That is what
the amendment advocates hope for, but
there can he no doubt that some of the
Democratic members will not give their
support to the measure.
The proposition of Mr.. James Bar
bour TO reduce the rate of taxation
from 40 to % cents on the 800 was sug-
gested in the conference night before
last, but it met with very little favor.
1t is thought that TO adopt any such
plan to "freeze out " the bondholders
will have a very bad effect upon the new
3's. The policy of the Legislature is to
protect and encourage these bonds,
knowing that the higher they go the
greater will be the inducement for the
consol-holders to fund.
